Man Found Napping in Car With Holdup Note

QUINCY, Mass. -- It's never good to fall asleep on the job, but when you're a robber the consequences can be severe. Police arrived at a CVS pharmacy early Tuesday morning to find Steven Jakaitis, 42, sleeping in his idling car with a nylon stocking over his head and a cap pistol in his pocket.

By his side was a note that read: "I have a Gun DO NOT Press any Alarms or let Custermors (sic) know Empty the All the register."

A customer called police after seeing Jakaitis, who was also wearing a black wig and a scarf. On the back seat of his car, officers found a plastic bag containing 36 unused hypodermic needles. He spoke incoherently after the officers woke him, Capt. Anthony DiBona said.

He never actually went into the store, police said.

At his arraignment Tuesday, Jakaitis pleaded innocent to attempted armed robbery, possession of a hypodermic syringe and receiving a stolen car. He was ordered held on $1,000 bail and ordered to appear for a pretrial conference on April 12.

Or maybe he was saved from carbon monoxide poisoning by the cops.

"A customer called police after seeing Jakaitis, who was also wearing a black wig and a scarf."

What a sight! Stocking over head and all that mess.

How is this attempted armed robbery if the guy never went in the store?

[BallyBill]

I figured alcohol was involved, but the hypos may indicate a more serious sleep inducer. Note to self: get high AFTER work.

Actually, your spelling and grammar are probably FAR better than mine. I went to Publik Skoul and got me and Ediakashun! Needless to say, we homeschool.

Just... BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

If your education was so poor, why are you passing that along to your children through homeschooling?

One need not succeed in a crime to be punished for the crime. Take enough sufficient steps towards the commission of it, and you're in deep enough. Otherwise, thwarted efforts would go unpunished.

Stupid Criminal Alert

How is it attempted robbery if he didn't attempt it?

[cherokee1]

Wasn't the car stolen?

Good try at logic! ;-) Thankfully there are numerous resources and quality materials available to the homeschooling community that actually provide a student with instruction on reading, writing, math, science, etc. Of course the publics schools can't use these resources since the materials don't promote homosexuality, don't show how to use a condom, don't teach rebellion against parental authority....you get the picture...

For anyone that has the "foxy voice" extension for firefox, you absolutely must let it read the freeper responses.

The freeper comments with this voice are hysterical.
